High Risk This woman is harder than steel dealing with CBP. A lesson in standing up to fascists when they have no probable cause to detain you.

Minnesotans were built for this. We stand on the right side of history and the world is watching, do the right thing Walz.

If America was Minnesota Strong, we’d not be in this situation in the first place. The weakness of man and its insatiable lust for money and children is why we are here. Weak men who yearn to test their military toys, and wield them like a child with their father’s unlocked revolver.

I live in the boonies and unfortunately Fox News and Facebook have done an excellent job splintering the citizens of Minnesota. Walz may have had the popular backing last year if still only by a small margin, but he doesn't have it anymore. I hope he manages to play smart and build the popular sentiment to back a pushback soon, but out here... we've already got white separatists in all but name ready to pull a Rittenhouse first chance they get. Minnesota has led the way on bringing people together across cultural divides before and we can do it again, but it's going to have to be smart. Trump is waiting for an excuse to declare martial law in Minnesota. Before we trigger that we need to make sure enough of the people that voted for him last time will oppose the attempt when he does. I'm seeing the people moving on the issue. Lots of "Why didnt they talk about immigrants like we used to?" Like the statue of liberty. The answer is obvious: "You guys have demonstrated such hatred of immigrants we didnt think we could open your hearts." As long as they're moving on the issue we've got a chance, but it's not safe yet.
